Why buy a new boiler?

When it comes to buying a new boiler, there are lots of reasons why you might feel now is the time to replace your existing one.

Faults and failures

Boiler breakdown can cause costly repairs, so you might consider investing in a new one. Boilers tend to last between 10 and 15 years, so if yours seems to be slowing down, replacing it with a new one could prove more cost effective.

Heating and hot water problems

Many homeowners decide to opt for a boiler replacement if it’s struggling to meet their heating and hot water needs. If you use a lot of hot water—and/or if you use your heating a lot—a boiler with a high kW output might be best for you. You can count on our Home Experts to help you decide what’s right for your household.

Energy efficiency

If your boiler has a low energy efficiency rating, it’s likely your energy bills are higher than they would be if you installed a new, A-rated heating system in your home. Energy efficient boilers can help reduce heating bills, as well as protect the environment.

It’s beyond economical repair (BER)

In some cases, it can be more cost-effective to replace your boiler than to organise for it to be repaired. For example, if you have an old boiler that is prone to faults, instead of constantly paying to get it repaired, you could invest in a brand-new boiler system.

You want to move the system

If you’re unhappy with the location that your boiler is in, installing a brand-new boiler could be more worthwhile. It could also potentially be less-hassle as you’ll have the option to upgrade your system and get a more energy-efficient source of central heating.

Current system fails to meet your needs

Many homeowners opt for a boiler replacement if they find that their current system struggles to meet their heating and hot-water needs. For example, a homeowner whose property has high hot-water and heating demands may choose to install a boiler with a higher kW output.

Selling/renting your property – A house with a new boiler fitted could be more appealing to buyers and tenants than a home with an older and potentially less energy-efficient system. It could therefore be beneficial for you to invest in a boiler if you plan on selling your home, as this could enhance buyer/tenant interest.
